Nice clean room in good location. It was extremely hot during our stay and the provided fans just weren’t enough to keep us cool at night-AC would have been great

The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great. The only comment we would make is that it is a little bit dated.

Hilton Lake Taupo
Emma, an outstanding staffmember in Bistro Lago provided excellent service throughout our stay. Her attentive service standard was perfect - professional yet not overbearing as many hospitality professionals can be. We enjoyed her humour too; Emma’s careful guidance through the menu and wine list ...
